What are some examples of keyboard shortcuts in Angular?

In Angular, you can use keyboard shortcuts to enhance user experience. For example, you can implement shortcuts for saving, editing, or navigating through forms.

Can you give me a specific example of how to implement a keyboard shortcut?

Sure! You can use the HostListener decorator to listen for key events. For instance, to save a form on Ctrl + S, you can do:

@HostListener('window:keydown', ['$event'])
handleKeyboardEvent(event: KeyboardEvent) {
  if (event.ctrlKey && event.key === 's') {
    event.preventDefault();
    this.saveForm();
  }
}

What about using keyboard shortcuts for navigation?

For navigation, you can set up shortcuts to switch between components. For example, using the same HostListener, you can navigate to a different route when pressing Ctrl + N.

Are there any libraries that can help with keyboard shortcuts?

Yes, libraries like 'ng-keyboard-shortcuts' can simplify the process of managing keyboard shortcuts in Angular applications.
